Here's what Putin thinks of the Most Equal Comrade's stern warning

Just like the leader of every one of America's rivals and enemies, he's got nothing but contempt for his bitch in the White House:

NBC News just announced that “Russian President Vladimir Putin has asked parliament for approval to use the country’s military in Ukraine, the Kremlin said in a statement Saturday. Putin said the move is needed to protect ethnic Russians and the personnel of a Russian military base in Ukraine’s strategic region of Crimea.”
The text of the Putin’s request, as reported by the BBC is:
“In connection with the extraordinary situation that has arisen in the Ukraine, the threat to the lives of citizens of the Russian Federation, our fellow countrymen and the personnel of the military contingent of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation deployed on the territory of the Ukraine (the Autonomous Republic of the Crimea) in accordance with an international agreement, on the basis of Point G Part 1 of Article 101 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation [governing the use of Russian armed forces outside Russian territory], I am submitting to the Council of the Federation [upper house] of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation a request to use the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on the territory of the Ukraine until the normalisation of the socio-political situation in that country.”
If Russia goes into the Ukraine, Kiev may invoke the Budapest Memorandum. “A treaty signed in 1994 by the US and Britain could pull both countries into a war to protect Ukraine if President Putin’s troops cross into the country. Bill Clinton, John Major, Boris Yeltsin and Leonid Kuchma – the then-rulers of the USA, UK, Russia and Ukraine – agreed to the The Budapest Memorandum as part of the denuclearization of former Soviet republics after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Technically it means that if Russia has invaded Ukraine then it would be difficult for the US and Britain to avoid going to war.”
This would be lunacy on the scale of August, 1914.

That declinist clown has gotten us into some sticky situations before, but this has to be one of the stickiest.

  1. You're hard to figure. You talk like a hawk yet you ascribe looniness to a previous pact that might involve it. Must be only your peeps who can march us into one.

  2. See latest post. The consensus forming in DC this weekend is that the US can't do diddly about this.
